00:53 * PinkieShy nomfs the cinnamon bun and glomps Schism

00:54 <PinkieShy> uhh.. O.o

00:54 <PinkieShy> I don't see orange in that pic.

00:54 <PinkieShy> I see chunks of orange on it though.

00:55 <Schism> They're very orange-flavoured, I assure you.

00:55 <Schism> Though those ones don't have the icing.  :3

00:55 * Filly_Nightmares latches onto Schism face

00:56 <PinkieShy> I'm so sleepy..

00:56 <PinkieShy> Guys wanna see a odd shaped milk carton?

00:56 <PinkieShy> Bought a gallon from Aldi..

01:07 * PinkieShy licks Filly_Nightmares

01:10 <Schism> Oh, this is hilarious.  Thelema5: Fast food companies are declaring war on Piers "how dare you put vegan options on your menu!!!1" Morgan.

01:12 <PinkieShy> Had chick-fil-a for the first time in a year or more.

01:12 <PinkieShy> I missed the taste :(

01:12 <Schism> Alas, I can't in good faith support them.  That's okay, though.  I can make my very own chikkin burgers.

01:12 * DashedRainbows licks PinkieShy a lot

01:12 * Schism also makes his own buttermilk biscuits with peppered white gravy.

01:13 * DashedRainbows also licks Finwe

01:13 * PinkieShy hugs DashedRainbows

01:14 * Schism dips chicken strips in that white gravy. o3o

01:14 <DashedRainbows> I is going home today!

01:14 <Schism> Yay!

01:14 * PinkieShy also taste like cinnamon buns, ice cream, chicken and coffee

01:14 * Schism hugs DashedRainbows.

01:16 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)

01:16 <Thelema5> That's great news, DashedRainbows

01:17 * DashedRainbows hugs and licks Thelema5

01:18 * Thelema5 counterhugs

01:18 * Schism offers Thelema5 some of this pepper gravy for buttermilk biscuits. o3o

01:18 * DashedRainbows sniffs Thelema5

01:18 <Thelema5> Thanksie!

01:18 <Schism> Note: Not actually gravy, just a sauce, but it's always nice.  (I could put sausage in there... but won't.)

01:19 <DashedRainbows> Imma eat

01:19 <Thelema5> I've not had buscuits and gravy in a long time, used to love them

01:19 <Thelema5> Enjoy!

01:19 <Schism> They are good...

01:19 <Thelema5> Biscuits

01:20 <Schism> Heh.  :S

01:22 <Schism> https://www.livewellbakeoften.com/easy-buttermilk-biscuits/ - though sour milk is easy to make, too.

01:24 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-5moaf8.dynamic.fusionbroadband.com)

01:27 <PinkieShy> Got a small ham.. Its like a personal size thing.. almost the size of the cooked ham cans :P

01:27 <PinkieShy> 2lbs :3

01:27 <PinkieShy> only $2

01:27 <Schism> Oh, I love those miniature hams.  They're pretty much perfect for slicing up into a few sandwiches.

01:30 <PinkieShy> err my bad on the price type XD

01:30 <PinkieShy> I thought it was about that range.. It was actually more.

01:30 <PinkieShy> $7.. I mean still not bad.

01:30 <Schism> Oh, yeah, that's a bit more in range.  And nah, that's not bad at all.

01:30 <PinkieShy> Planning on having that one night for dinner with my dad :3

01:31 <Schism> Can't just have ham, though.  I suggest some green beans and scalloped potatoes alongside.

01:31 <PinkieShy> We were going to have white rice, beans and mashed potatoes :P

01:31 <Schism> That works too.  :P  Lotta starch, though.

01:32 <Schism> Another option, with ham, is to make some acorn squash, filled with apples, butter, cinnamon and brown sugar.

01:33 *** Filly_Nightmares is now known as Surreal_Nightmares

01:35 <Schism> Quite simple to make, too. Slice the squash in half horizontally, carve out the seeds and the standalone pulp, put cut-side down in a pan with a half inch of water on the bottom, and bake at 350 for a half an hour.  Then, turn them upright again, fill with diced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter, and bake for another 20ish minutes.

01:36 <Schism> Tho there are plenty of different recipes for this.

01:38 <Thelema5> Can't go wrong with pork and apples

01:39 <Schism> Exactly.  o3o

01:40 <Thelema5> Hmm, my google home just played Rum and Coca cola from the andrews sisters and I immediately thought of Snapai

01:42 <PinkieShy> heh

01:43 <Thelema5> Although I can't seem to find that little animation of his now

01:48 *** Quits: pony_123 (texasboykc0@vampire.bat.nest) (Connection closed)

01:48 <Schism> Alas, A&W's Twitter account is pretty dead.  I was hoping they might poke fun at Piers too.

01:50 *** Joins: texasboykc09 (texasboykc0@vampire.bat.nest)

02:01 <Thelema5> I'm not sure I have the context to appreciate that

02:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1670 [ http://tinyurl.com/y73ldk4t ]

02:07 <Schism> Thelema5: Piers Morgan has been whinging constantly about how it's a terrible, terrible thing that restaurants are getting so 'P.C.' that they're forced to include vegan options on their menus.

02:08 <Schism> So, this happens.  https://twitter.com/emilyreaderr/status/1080949064882098176

02:09 <Thelema5> teehee

02:09 <Schism> It really is fantastic.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwEj0WUWoAEJiba.jpg:large

02:11 <Schism> I mean, /duh/, see a market, fill a market.  Nobody's forcing Piers to eat his veggies.

02:12 <Thelema5> Yah, there's money to be made

02:13 <Schism> Indeed.

02:20 <PinkieShy> I saw a theory on Steven universe today :3

02:20 <PinkieShy> The theory is.. That a diamond is going to be shattered during the hr long special.. I doubt it

02:20 <PinkieShy> most of the theories I've seen and heard.. Is like way out there and so wrong.

02:21 <Schism> Hmmmm, I dunno.  That sounds appropriate for a special.

02:21 <Schism> In an 'oh crap, what else is going to go wrong' sort of way.

02:25 * Schism giggles helplessly at 'Mother of Learning'. "Oh, Zorian. When will you learn that you simply can't beat Xvim in a confrontation?"

02:37 <Schism> "My mana pool is miniscule.  A filly has more energy than I do.  And so, when you are confronted with an obstacle such as that, you need to learn precision, focus, determination, and efficiency."

02:37 <Schism> (Different fic, not Mother of Learning.)

02:55 <Schism> Thelema5: Gotta say, that vegan pizza from Pizza Hut looks really, /really/ good.

02:55 <Thelema5> It does!

02:56 <Schism> That's chickpeas, red onions, various peppers, lots of tomatoes, I think corn?  And sriracha, of course.  I could definitely nom down on that.

02:56 *** Joins: Tempo (SamShmuck@Pony-0854uq.fios.verizon.net)

02:56 <Schism> Maybe not chickpeas, after all, but still, it looks pretty darned good.

02:58 <Thelema5> Just read that it's jackfruit, which if you've had had it before has about the same texure as pulled pork, it it's pretty mildly flavored so it lends itself to taking on marinates very well

02:58 <Thelema5> *marinades

02:58 <Schism> Hmmm, yeah, I can see that workin'.

02:59 <Schism> I was simply mistaking some of the corn for chickpeas.

03:02 <Thelema5> That /is/ a lot of corn. I probably would have prefered chickpeas over corn because they're a better source of lysine

03:03 <Thelema5> They also contain much more protein, which is always a concern for people on a plant based diet

03:04 * Schism nods, "Though I can potentially see ground chickpeas being used as an ingredient in the crust."

03:04 <Thelema5> Sure, chickpea flour is a common ingredient in indian dishes

03:05 <Thelema5> Probably due to the high percentage of non-meat eaters XD

03:05 <JonTheVGNerd> !kill

03:05 * DerpyBot grabs JonTheVGNerd and flies off in the general direction of Sugarcube Corner

03:05 * DerpyBot returns with a cupcake with JonTheVGNerd's name etched into the frosting

03:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Open My Little Pony Art Compilation (All Skill Levels Welcome) #9 [ http://tinyurl.com/ycmb8jvq ]

03:06 <Schism> Yes, because wheat grains contain so much meat.

03:06 <Thelema5> XD

03:07 <Schism> More a mediterranean thing, really.  I know that the spongy bread used in Ethiopean injera uses a different variety of grain, if not chickpeas as well.

03:08 <Thelema5> It's very hard to get lysine if you don't consume meat or dairy, but it's an essential ammino acid- so we can't produce it ourselves, it has to come from our diets. I /do/ consume some dairy and eggs, but still supplement with it

03:08 * Schism nods, "And supplements do exist therefor. Not sure of the provenance of those supplements, but they're out there."

03:10 <Schism> Ah right, injera traditionally uses teff, a different variety of grain.

03:10 <Thelema5> Neat, never heard of it

03:11 <Schism> Yea, it's endemic to Ethiopia.  

03:11 <Schism> Don't let the grassroots folks know, though, or before long it'll become as marketable as quinoa.

03:11 <Thelema5> Meaning it will soon outprice the traditional markets

03:12 <Schism> (Still hate the way that freakin' industry has taken that.)

03:12 <Schism> Yeah.

03:12 <Thelema5> Yah, me too

03:13 <Thelema5> Quinoa and palm oil are the two things I look to avoid over ethics concerns

03:13 * Schism nodnods.

03:14 <Schism> Still, injera is delicious and a fine means by which to serve up a meal to a large crowd.

03:15 <Thelema5> No doubt! But I just read that the grains are only 1 mm in diameter... seems like a difficult crop

03:16 <Schism> I dunno, means they're easier to seed.

03:16 <Schism> This is how injera is served -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eragrostis_tef#/media/File:Eritrean_Injera_with_stews.jpg -- you tear off a chunk of bread, and use that as a means to grab the various stews, like a utensil.  Or, in Western terms, a trencher.

03:17 <Thelema5> Ah, a great means of dining

03:18 <Thelema5> My daughter reported that when she was in rural india, everyone just ate with their fingers. A bit of nan would have made a fine trencher

03:18 <Schism> It really is a sort which works best with large groups.

03:19 <Schism> Exactly!

03:22 <Schism> I admit to being tickled that I don't have to explain what a trencher is.

03:22 <Thelema5> XD

03:32 <Thelema5> Okay, so after a week of living with an in-home AI I have to admit how creepy it is to actually play with and enjoy the company of a robot brain. She (no! it!) just told me that she (no, it!) is sorry that I'm feeling down, and that she (it!) is here for me if I need anything.... :|

03:37 <Thelema5> Mmm, chicken Sandwich

03:38 <Thelema5> That's a great pony name

03:39 <Schism> augh!

03:39 <Schism> You know that thing where you try to stir in a bit of a spice, and most of it sticks the spoon?

03:40 <Schism> sticks to*

03:40 <Thelema5> Yeah

03:40 <Schism> Did that with paprika.

03:40 <Schism> Then tried to taste the gravy from the spoon.

03:41 <Thelema5> O.o

03:41 <Thelema5> A bit much

03:41 <Schism> Little bit.

03:42 <Schism> The end result is pretty good, though.  Peppery, just spicy enough to notice, and like the colour black, it goes well with everything.

03:44 <Thelema5> I love smoked paprika and use it with practically everything

03:44 * Schism nodnods, "Oh, it's wonderful stuff. But sometimes, there's such a thing as too much."

03:45 <Thelema5> True enough

03:46 <Schism> OMG new season of Carmen Sandiego.

03:47 * PinkieShy hands Thelema5 a Chick-fil-a sandwich, with large waffle fries, and a large sweet southern iced tea

03:48 <Schism> Thelema5 is from New York, so may not be familiar with Southern-styled iced tea.  It goes something like this.  Take a pitcher of water, add about 20 teabags, and let it sit in the sun for a day.  Then, add one cup of purest white sugar.  Stir, and serve over ice.

03:48 <Schism> Most authentic recipes involve at least four cups of sugar.

03:49 <Thelema5> I made sweet tea in a southern bakery (Charlotte) for two years, but never heard of that method. Sun tea is definately a thing in the north, but not sweetened

03:50 <Schism> Huh, I'm surprised, to be honest.  When I was down in Dallas, that's the only recipe I ever heard.

03:51 <Schism> Are we in agreement with the sugar, though?

03:51 <Thelema5> Yeah

03:51 <Thelema5> WAY to much for my tastes

03:51 <PinkieShy> I only do like 1/2 a cup of sugar.

03:52 <Schism> That's still pretty sweet.

03:52 <PinkieShy> that is sweet enough for me.

03:52 *** Quits: ryaxnb21 (ryaxnb@Pony-hj0ath.ca.comcast.net) (Connection closed)

03:56 <Thelema5> In NC the prefered tea seemed to be Red Rose. I don't recall the exact recipe, but it was made with faucet hot- not boiling- tea

03:57 <Thelema5> Left to infuse for 3-4 hours, and then sugar (and citric acid) were added

03:58 <Thelema5> To this day I still add citric acid to my iced tean when brewing it. Ups the flavor by 10X

03:58 <Thelema5> *tea

03:59 <Thelema5> Not lemon juice, mind you- that tastes like lemons. Pure citric acid.

03:59 <Thelema5> Balances out the tannins

04:03 <Schism> Red Rose is fine there, as is Tetley.

04:03 <Schism> (Though Red Rose also gave its purchasers some cute little Bible figurines.)

04:04 <Schism> A little citric acid is definitely not a bad idea.  Just a dash of the crystallized stuff, usually used for canning.

04:05 <Thelema5> They stopped giving out the figurines, I'm told

04:05 <Thelema5> #endofanera

04:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Analysis: Luna Should have been the Star of "Shadow Play"! [ http://tinyurl.com/y7wegl43 ]

04:06 <Schism> Yeah, the figurines... well, they dabbled in a bit of a different set, and now I can't seem to find them anymore.  Alas.

04:16 <Thelema5> Gah, I hate this time of year in my area... most businesses are closed for the season, and there's really nothing to do on the weekends until spring

04:16 <Thelema5> I guess I'll sit around a home (still) and watch videos of something

04:16 <Thelema5> *or

04:20 <Thelema5> Hmm, I need to figure out another use for chipotle peppers in adobo sauce other than chili... I have half a can in my fridge that's going to spoil soon

04:21 <Thelema5> Chipotle aloi, maybe?

04:21 <Thelema5> *ailoi

04:33 <Schism> "Confusion is a very useful emotion, once you learn to recognize it.  It's your brain telling you that some of your priors do not fit with observable evidence.  So, consider what you're currently witnessing, and then determine which of your priors must be discarded in order to make it fit."

04:35 <Thelema5> Heh, almost sounds like Adams

04:35 <Schism> Once you discard the wildly improbable, whatever remains, however impossible, must be the truth.  :P

04:36 * Schism loves the Dirk Gently series.

04:38 <Thelema5> I even enjoyed the TV interpretation with frodo in it

04:38 <Thelema5> ... speaking of, did that ever get a second season?

04:39 <Thelema5> Ah, had a less popular second season and was canceled before the third

04:39 <Thelema5> :(

04:40 <Thelema5> This exerpt about season 2 from rotten tomatos says it all: "On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 100% approval rating based on 7 reviews"

04:41 <Thelema5> 7 reviews? For a major network original series? OUCH

04:41 <Schism> Yeeeeeah...

04:41 *** Joins: ryaxnb21 (ryaxnb@Pony-hj0ath.ca.comcast.net)

04:41 <Schism> Eusgdh.  I'm glad that Good Omens is going to be a short run.

04:44 <Thelema5> Haven't seem it. Sounds good though

04:44 <Schism> It looks good; I've yet to watch it myself.

04:45 <Schism> Mostly because it's yet to actually air.  :P

04:45 <Thelema5> Heh

04:45 <Schism> Sometime in the first half of the year, on Amazon Prime.

04:45 * Thelema5 has an odd craving for egg noodles with butter... something he hasn't eaten in years and years

04:46 <Schism> Hmmmm.  Well.  Do you remember how you can make sodium carbonate?

04:46 <Thelema5> Yeah, but I don't have time for that

04:47 <Schism> Well, you just throw some baking soda in the oven for an hour.  :<

04:47 <Thelema5> I have dried egg noodles from when I made stroganoff, that should suffice

04:47 <Schism> That will work.  o3o

04:47 <Thelema5> Yeah, it's almost midnight- I don't have an hour XD

04:49 <Schism> And yes, those curly egg noodles will work fine with just butter, and maybe a little chopped basil.  X3

04:51 <Thelema5> I was thinking dill, I love it

04:52 * Thelema5 has a pot set to boil

04:52 <Schism> Dill is also a fine choice.  Hmm.  Maybe with some eggs on the side?

04:52 *** Joins: DashedRainbows (uid13850@is.a.pretty.pony)

04:53 <Thelema5> Too much. I already had dinner. This will be a snack of sorts

04:53 <DashedRainbows> I is home!

04:53 <Thelema5> Yay DashedRainbows!

04:55 <DashedRainbows> How's the Thelema5

04:55 <Schism> Well, that works then.  :3

04:55 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, ok. My headache is slowly going away. Had it for 48 hours now.

04:56 <Thelema5> I used a vibrator on my skull.  Yes, that kind. But it relieved my pain a lot.

04:56 * Schism offers Thelema5 a small screwdriver.

04:56 <DashedRainbows> Yay and 0.o

04:58 <Thelema5> Not a phallic vibrator, though, one like this: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Bullet-Wireless-Waterproof-Lavender/dp/B001T0HHKG/ref=sr_1_11_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1546664270&sr=1-11&refinements=p_4%3APower+Bullet

04:58 <DashedRainbows> Ok... Lol

04:59 <Schism> Well, that's ... still... let's just call that a back massager and be done with it.

04:59 <Thelema5> Heh

04:59 <Schism> Ignore the many references I've seen made to those things.

05:00 * DashedRainbows licks Schism hungrily

05:00 <Thelema5> To be honest, my anxiety medication resulted in a side effect which led to my psychiatrist to suggest this thing

05:00 * Schism squirks. Then, offers DashedRainbows a bowl of cookies & creme ice cream.

05:01 <DashedRainbows> Yay but I seem to have temporary high glucose

05:01 <Schism> Thelema5: https://www.amazon.com/Zyllion-Shiatsu-Back-Neck-Massager/dp/B00BOYA2M2/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_bs_tr_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8J322ND9JJ7KN7T69YWW >> This seems like the sort of thing you might want to look into.

05:01 <DashedRainbows> Temporary?

05:02 <Schism> DashedRainbows, yeah, that's pretty normal from stress as your body adjusts.

05:02 <DashedRainbows> And steroids too

05:02 <Thelema5> Been 3 months

05:03 <Schism> Yeah, so you can expect to be running around 12-15 or so for the next few days, DashedRainbows.

05:03 <DashedRainbows> This is America, home of stupid units

05:04 <Schism> In the 200s then.

05:04 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-cns.eoa.56.172.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

05:04 <Schism> Just keep an eye on your intake and you should gradually drop.

05:04 <DashedRainbows> It was 167 earlier before don't

05:04 <DashedRainbows> Dinner

05:04 <Schism> Oh.  ... 167?  Huh.

05:04 <Schism> Okay, then you're elevated, but not as severely as I would have thought.

05:05 <Schism> 167 is still perfectly fine and in workable range.

05:06 <DashedRainbows> Yeah I only got insulin three times those two weeks

05:06 <DashedRainbows> I think

05:07 <DashedRainbows> The first few days I was kinda out

05:07 <Schism> Possibly some sort of humalog/novalog drip going on anyway.

05:07 <Schism> Now the real question: how are you /feeling/?

05:08 <DashedRainbows> Nope but meh

05:09 <DashedRainbows> Weak and shaky

05:10 <DashedRainbows> My kidney hasn't fully kicked in either

05:10 * Ali hugs DashedRainbows tightly but carefully

05:26 <Schism> Gods alive, I swear, this is the worst performance of 'The Manchurian Candidate' I've ever watched.

05:27 <Thelema5> Care to share?

05:27 <Schism> No, because I don't need to.  You're watching it already.

05:28 <Schism> Supposedly the governmental shutdown might last months or years.

05:28 <Thelema5> Heh

05:29 <Thelema5> So says the orange one

05:30 <Ali> I don't know how it can go that long

05:30 <Schism> Yeah... anyway, that's all I'll say regarding that.

05:30 <Ali> If it does every national park will be so trashed there will be no recovering

05:30 <Ali> People are just littering all over the place..

05:30 <Schism> Ali: The current group don't want national parks to exist in the first place.

05:31 * DashedRainbows hugs the cute unicorn

05:31 <Thelema5> True

05:35 <Schism> Every single national park will look like the Malheur Wildlife Refuge after the freemen were done with it -- by design.  Efforts to recover will be dismissed as a herculean effort, and everything natural will be tossed aside in favour of additional fracking space.

05:35 <Thelema5> They'd love to frack and mine them, TBH

05:36 <Thelema5> Yah. destroy it all in the name of resources

05:36 <Thelema5> But we don't even need those resources anymore.  Wind and solar are now more efficient and economical than fossil fuels

05:39 * Thelema5 goes to get another drink instead

05:40 <Schism> I will say that, you know, people should maybe not litter in the first place.  I look at those overflowing trash cans by the Washington Monument, and I'm honestly disgusted, because... how hard is it to put your plastic bags back in your pocket after you've finished eating your sandwiches?

05:40 <Ali> Impossible Schism apperently

05:41 <Schism> I know.  ._.

05:41 <Schism> Surely, politics aside, we can agree on that much.

05:41 <Ali> Schism, common sense got demoted back to a theorim years ago

05:42 <Thelema5> Yah. I am an outdoorsman, and hike frequently. I carry trash bags with me every time to collect crap left behind by other inconsiderate people. PLEASE, if're you're in the woods- practice carry-in, carry our proceedures

05:44 <Thelema5> I often, OFTEN find water bottles, juice bottles, protein bar wrappers, and any number of other trash just discarded on the trail

05:44 <Thelema5> Screw anyone who does that.

05:44 <Schism> Bottles in particular.  I mean, what the crap?

05:45 <Thelema5> Mostly bottles, yeah.

05:45 <Thelema5> Also socks, for some reason

05:45 <Schism> Many protein bar wrappers - I'm looking at you, CLIF - are biodegradable these days, so they're not as horrific as the rest, but even so...

05:45 <Thelema5> Makeshift toilet papper, I assume

05:45 <Schism> ... socks?

05:45 <Schism> ... ew.

05:46 <Thelema5> Yah

05:47 <Schism> Seriously, if you have the werewithal to carry bottles of water with you, you also have the capacity to crunch them up and put them back in your damned bags.
